True. That's why we need an audio enthusiast entrepeneur like yourself to find a way to break that chain which has lead to pandering magazines. But in any case, follow your muse as given the 1% comment and your ability to give away speakers, you obviously don't need this.
I'm so very sorry about your mother. I know I've said it before but you and your family are in our prayers.
To both you and Craig, I'm sorry to learn that things fell through. I'm sure a lot of work went into your plans for Rocket Canada and now Mark is probably looking at a lot more work than he needs on his already very busy plate.
Thanks for the stories about the way Craig treated you and your pastor. They only confirm what I already know, and could tell you, of Craig's kindness and generosity, which I've personally experienced.
Craig is a straight ahead, outspoken, honest guy. I, for one, really appreciate that, even if, or when, I don't agree with what he has to say, or how he says it. I'd much rather deal with people who come in through the front door, than deal with back door people. Some apparently don't feel the way I do.
Mark, there are no words, dammit! I'd give anything if there were.
Thank you to all for the kind words... but Jack, I am shocked. I have said something with which you were not in agreement ? Wow...
First, the unimportant stuff...When I had agreed to get involved in this little venture, I had never considered that it would look like there was some quid pro quo going on. I was actually hoping to get several American based internet direct companies "under one roof" for the Canadian market. That was obviously not such a great idea, in retrospect...For any upset I caused to *anyone*, please accept my apologies.
Now for the important stuff..
Yes, Mark is in a tough place right now... and there are really no words that will suffice. The best I can do is to convey to all he IS a first class gentleman, and I hope he gets through this situation with his mom with as little pain as possible.
It did remind me to call my parents to go to dinner this weekend...
Mark... hang in there... ... a LOT of people REALLY care.... Yours truly included.
